[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a former judge advocate. Was deployed as a lawyer in Afghanistan. Striking the boat a second time was not manifestly unlawful; therefore, the order needed followed.  Not a war crime. Not murder. [/quote]
That’s disgusting, if true. Expect enemy combatants to deliver the same mercy to American troops. [/quote]

It is not true and PP is not a judge advocate, they just play one on the internet.

It was illegal. These are war crimes.  The admiral should have resigned instead of following these orders.[/quote]

Yes - really a former judge advocate.  The boats can absolutely be legitimate military targets.  There is no need for a declaration of war to determine something is a legitimate military target.  And if the boats and drugs are not destroyed with the first missile, you can fire a second.  [/quote]

Hmm. Should we believe this anonymous DCUM MAGGAT or the military times and the former JAGs that sent a memo declaring that these were war crimes?

A group of former military lawyers issued a memo Saturday condemning Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for allegedly ordering a special operations commander and military personnel to kill everybody aboard an alleged drug-carrying vessel on Sept. 2.

These right-leaning individuals have also questioned the legality of Hegseth’s orders.

- Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS): As chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee

- Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL): Chair of the House Armed Services Committee

- Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE): A veteran and Armed Services Committee member

- Bret Baier (Fox News):  res anchor

- John Fund (National Review): The conservative columnist and editor-at-large [/quote]

ok, that's all and good, but give on on trying to find a technicality that is going to cause Trump's demise--this strategy is not going to work. [/quote]
This isn’t about trying to cause Trump’s demise.[/quote]
